please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

This place does have a good beer garden but it is ruined by screaming kids and horrible parents.
I am a boring old fart and would like to drink my beer in peace!
Although these days that seems to be a luxury.
A decent selection of ales and ciders though.

6/10

A fairly small pub with most space given over to food. Not much space left for the drinkers although there is a large garden, albeit with most of that dedicated to children�s play equipment. There were many children eating during our Sunday lunchtime visit; not all of those children were well-behaved and the atmosphere suffered as a result.

There is a fairly extensive menu but we opted for the carvery which was good value and good quality.

Only two ales on for our visit: Sharp�s Doombar and Otter Ale. The latter was fine.

Nice pub - excellent food and good value. Specially like the Saturday night Grill night, and glad it is now WARM (new boiler we are told!). Will be returning.

This is a detached pub, with a part brick and part yellow rendered exterior, with olive green paintwork. There is a beer garden, which also has a children's play area and a bouncy castle

The interior is modern, something i really hate and other love. It has the modern works; sofas, high backed chairs, arty pictures and twigs. It is open plan around the bar; the bar area has TV (England were on) and there was darts as well, so not all bad! The main area seemed to be set up more for dining, though there was nobody in that part. Decor was plain walls in red, green and white. Service was functional and the clientele family based.

Beer; usual tap stuff, with Branscombe's Summer That and Branoc, Otter Ale and Bay Devon Dumpling on handpull, the last being fine.

Modern interiors dont do it for me - the beer was ok, the service so-so. I wont be returning.

Recently converted. I think they want to be restaurant now. Cold atmosphere and high prices. Don�t think I will be going back any time soon.
